About Swords in film.

Off course We want He-Man have his The Power Sword....but
Do You want Skeletor has his Sword? Similar sword than He-Man's The Power Sword but Darker style than He-Man's or two swords like Skeletor had in MotU 200x? Or Skeletor need use his Havoc staff only

..He-Man has earth-magic, Skeletor has blood-magic
...She-Ra has blood-magic, the bird Sorceress has earth-magic

by earth-magic I mean rock crystals from Eternia, not from Earth.

Don't just think of how cool the GreySkull sword is, try thinking about how She-Ra's TV show sword was stupid..

I storyboarded these movies, and I am ready to make them as a director.
(or as a cheese eating executive like George Lucas)

When I drew and wrote it out, I used the Evil Lyn wand as a tool that She-Ra would have, that Skeletor would give her, to increase her blood-magic.

I called it a pearl from the underwater pearl crops that Mermen farm.
The pearl has been out of sunlight underwater, as the Eternian sun and moons are a source of magic.
(oppositely like the SunStone, which I crossed with the Diamond Ray in my movie storyboards, making it the most powerful rock-magic on Eternia)

Why would Skeletor need a sword?
He has the Havok staff, which has a pearl hiding behind the animal skull.

(Havok, as in 'Peace and Havok', peace like the bird, Sorceress)

Reason: cross posting

FOR ME, I would like to see Skeletor with just his Havoc Staff. The reason being that when I see Skeletor with a sword I always think about the whole joining of the two swords to open the Jaws of Grayskull thing. I don't like that too much.

I thought that in the first movie, He-Man and She-Ra would fight and break their weapons together.
Then in the pit/tower of Granamear the dragon, they would find new weapons, but basicaly the same kind, so that they would still have their tools' in the second movie.

I think it would be cool for Skeletor to have some sort of sword, whether it be a dark power sword or more 200X style double sword(s). Then you could have an epic sword duel between He-Man and Skeletor at the end of the movie.

Not to come across as ride, but I don't think the whole blood/earth/etc. magic angle should be used. The general moviegoing public won't care about all that-it comes across as too D&D. (I don't care for it either, honestly.)

As for the swords, yes, Skeletor should have one, even if he only uses it when forced to do combat, relying most on his Havoc Staff.

Tired of waiting for Hollywood.

I'm fairly sure D&D didn't distinguish differences between rock magic and blood magic.
..I think it was just about endulging the individual mind with images and 'do anything you want' reasoning, that made those with a lack of intellectual quality, think they could fly,, in front of moving cars.
